Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add gnocchi and cook, stirring often, until plumped and starting to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and onion to the pan and cook, stirring, over medium heat, for 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and water. Cover and cook until the onion is soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Add chard (or spinach) and cook, stirring, until starting to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, beans and pepper and bring to a simmer. Stir in the gnocchi and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover and cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling, about 3 minutes.

Tip: Look for shelf-stable gnocchi near other pasta in the Italian section of most supermarkets.

Simple and delicious recipe. The entire family loved it!! I used some low sodium vegetable broth and a bit of Locatelli cheese for some added flavor. It was a very cost effective and filling meal as well.

Delicious meal! Even my kids are enjoying the break from old heavy foods! I used thinly sliced chicken breast which I added in with the onion to simmer. The broth makes liquid so that water isn't even needed for garlic. So much flavor! Paired with an Olive Garden style salad.

Amazing mid-week meal!
One of the best and easiest-to-prepare one-skillet meals I've ever found. Such a diverse mixture of flavors, textures, and colors, this dish is perfect for two people (with leftovers for the next day) or feeding a family. Reheats the next day very well. I use spinach instead of chard (I like the flavor). I don't even miss the meat, the gnocchi is heavy and the beans protein-rich enough without added meat.
Pros: Tasty, quick, colorful, nutritious, versatile
Cons: None

One of the best 1 Pot meals ever!
This is a great recipe. It is very flavorful and easy to make. My husband likes it, but he misses meat in a no-meat dish. I can quickly thaw frozen shrimp or use leftover cooked chicken and everyone is happy. It turns boring chicken into just the opposite!
This recipe is easy to vary - you can use different types of greens, beans, and or cheese depending on what you like. Don't leave out the tomatoes. They add lots of flavor. I'm making this again this week.
Pros: Flavorful, filling, attractive, can use all fresh ingredients, easy to make
Cons: No meat, but easy to add cooked chicken, shrimp, etc

Loved this meal
Recently, I was put on a low fat high fiber diet with lots of leafy greens. I have been struggling to find recipes that are quick and easy. This one is perfect. Beans for fiber, leafy greens and I substituted reduced fat mozzarella to make it even lower in fat. Loved it and as other comments suggest it is very easy to substitute other foods in and out.
